Frequently asked
What is "3rd fill Bourbon barrel"?
Bourbon barrels are used multiple times in Scotch/Japanese whisky maturation. "3rd fill" means this is the third whisky matured in this specific barrel (after original Bourbon + two previous whisky fills). Third-fill barrels impart very gentle, delicate cask influence — perfect for showcasing distillery character without heavy oak overlay.
